The 2002 song and dance film Chicago, once well-known to the public, originated from a famous stage script adapted from real events in 1926 and was adapted into a film twice in subsequent years.

Then the story came back to attention in 1975.

Bob FOSS, a famous Hollywood filmmaker and Broadway stage master, adapted Chicago into a musical, which made a sensation at the beginning of the year. He not only won many Tony Awards, but also performed thousands of times around the world in the following years.

Although it was a great success in business and awards, Chicago was as controversial as director and screenwriter Bob FOSS himself. The play rarely uses "break, change if you don't agree".

Continue to check the video along the audition list. Many female stars participated in the audition. In addition to the two women preferred by Simon, a group of different female stars participated in the audition, such as Nicole Kidman, Demi Moore, Rachel Weizi, Mia koshna, Julian Moore, Charlize Theron, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica chastan.

Even if Madonna is uncertain, there are still a group of people to choose from.

And without much consideration, he directly marked the third candidate, Charlize Theron.

The main reason is that Theron has many years of dance foundation.

When making a song and dance film, if the actors can't dance and only rely on the urgent training before shooting, the effect will never be very good. Just like the original Chicago, there is a very obvious gap between Renee Zellweger, who has little skills, and Catherine Zeta Jones, who began to learn dance since childhood.

However, Cylon also has a disadvantage, that is, its reputation is still a little low.

That's not a problem.

The first is the release of the first song of the Lord of the rings next year. As the actor of the "Fairy Princess", Cylon must be famous. It is preliminarily determined that the first song of the Lord of the rings will be released in Thanksgiving next year, while Chicago is a Christmas file and will be the main hit of subsequent Oscars. This back-to-back is a way to strike while the iron is hot.

Moreover, the IP popularity of Chicago itself can also make up for the defects of actor coffee.

In the final analysis, the choice of well-known actors, like the adaptation of films based on well-known novels, is to obtain a certain basic popularity in advance. However, over the past century, countless dark horses in Hollywood have repeatedly proved that the film itself is the most critical.

As for the choice of famous actors, it is actually a kind of conservatism.

Simon is not opposed to this conservatism. After all, Hollywood often invests tens of millions, and few people will take it lightly. However, he will never be superstitious about this conservatism. If he can't talk with big coffee or is inappropriate, he will change people decisively.

Determined the female owner's plan and the actor of the male owner 'Billy Flynn'.

This Simon is also directly finalized, Hugh Jackman.

It can be said that it is the biggest change compared with the original.

Simon doesn't like the original Richard Kiel, and his memory of each other's performance in the film is also very mediocre. Even if the actor's current film salary is very cheap because of the change of history, Simon doesn't intend to use it.

Once another popular candidate, John Travolta, Simon considered and gave up.

I can't afford it this time.

From "vulgar novel" to "broken arrow" and "changed face" in recent years, relying on danilis entertainment, Travolta has always maintained a steady front-line state. Commercial films must get a top salary of 15 million, even for song and dance films such as "Chicago", because of the good relationship between the two sides, even if Travolta is willing to reduce his film salary, Here we still need to give the corresponding sharing terms.

Since it is determined that this is a big profit project, it is almost the same as the top salary.

Not cost-effective.

Moreover, Simon is not the kind of person who talks about money and you talk about feelings. His own brother's clear accounting is his creed. Otherwise, no matter how deep feelings are, they will end sooner or later.

Another reason is that the core of Chicago is the two women. Billy Flynn is not so important, so we don't need to find too big roles.

In the past year, Hugh Jackman, who has become famous in Hollywood with "contact in time and space" and "Los Angeles secret" in a row, has just finished. The two sides have signed a packaging agreement for three films, which happens to be the last one. Simple contact can be done for $3 million.

A price that is neither high nor low.

Although the summer "Los Angeles secret" is a blockbuster, it is a group play of three men. Even if Jackman is the first man, he does not prove his appeal. He can only be said to have a certain popularity. In addition, for Jackman himself, participating in the film adaptation of the famous musical Los Angeles secret can also further broaden the stage.

There are not many actors in Hollywood who can cross various themes. What is more sad is that they are limited to the small fresh meat in youth films, which is basically difficult to break through. Jackman's debut spans the three themes of science fiction, crime and song and dance. As long as the three films have achieved good response, the next is the smooth road.

As for uncle wolf's singing and dancing ability, not to mention the other party's Orthodox stage actor background, those who have seen the king of circus and les miserables will probably not doubt it.

Simon pondered and finally wrote his comments on the casting paper on Chicago.

Finally, I circled the name of one of the women who participated in the audition.

Alexandra martinis.

The "Golden Rose cave Princess" who was abducted from Italy and eloped with herself.

Unlike other actresses who want to fight for Wilma, Martinis auditioned for Rosie.

Women's performances and songs and dances are all right. After all, professional dancers are born. They are only a little older. This year is 35 years old. Their fame is also somewhat low. In recent years, they rely on Simon. Their Royal Highness has taken part in some stage dramas and TV dramas. They are familiar with their faces. But they want to prop up the Chicago. At least they are not as good as Simon's key choices.

Simon encircles the woman, mainly because he hasn't seen her for a long time. He can go to the woman on the east coast for a night in the next few days.

This is also a beauty.

The age of 35 is also a great beauty who has successfully resisted the aging attribute of Western women, and has more mature charm.

After reading the materials of Chicago, Simon just closed the folder, and the little servant girl who had been snuggling up beside him took it attentively, put it on the coffee table in front of him, and then took the next copy for Simon.

This is the information of some new projects being brewing recently.

Simon opened it and put his other hand on the little servant girl beside him. He casually asked, "is it boring?"

The little servant girl shook her head, raised her head, and looked at her with big eyes. "No, Mr. westero, it's my honor to stay with you."

Simon smiled and motioned to the tea table in front of him, but said to the other two: "two gege, perform and let me see the flowers bloom."

After several experiences, big eyes and crape myrtle flowers of course understand what is juxtaposition. After seeing the man finish, the little servant girl politely came forward to help clean up the documents and things on the tea table. The two women stared at her, but they didn't dare to disobey the man's order and quickly climbed onto the tea table and hugged each other.

Simon only glanced at the lily play on the tea table occasionally, and his attention was still on the documents in his hand.

Among the projects under consideration, the first one is the Black Dahlia, which is not only adapted from real historical events, but also the most famous of the "Los Angeles Quartet" by famous writer James arory, including the summer sale of Los Angeles secrets.

The gaomen film team still suggested that Brian De Palma be in charge, and Palma also gave a positive response.

Then there are some production ideas such as preliminary script ideas.

The 2006 version of the Black Dahlia directed by Parma ended in failure. Simon, who knew the inside story, knew that Parma had just picked up a mess from David finch. Simon didn't have much concern about making a new version by Parma a few years in advance.

Just think about it a little and push forward as soon as possible on the gaomen side.

Then he turned over several project plans, or passed or rejected, and soon came to another project from Italy, which made Simon slightly eyebrow.

This is a new film being brewed by the famous Italian director Giuseppe tonadore, who has been very happy to cooperate with danilis in recent years. It is called the beautiful legend of Sicily. A very familiar film in my memory is famous.
